I heard that when I was a kid, and it may have been true then. There's no way this is true anymore. It would mean you make an average of under 30k per year for your working life. True for some I'm sure, but no way it's most. A billion tho...
30k a year is a good salary in most European countries. In most other parts of the world that's being rich. My statement stands true: one million is more than a lifetime of work for most people in the world.
Median salary in EU is 39k. 30k will be a bad salary for most people in most European countries.
That is before taxation.
Fair enough. 30k netto seems to be closer to a median then.
